This effect means that it usually doesn't make sense to fit more than three modules which improve any one attribute. For example, a {{co|#9ef37c|Ballistic Control System I}} increases missile damage by 7%. The first module fit to a ship gives the full bonus, but the second will only give an additional 7% × 87% = 6.1% bonus, ~~and~~ the third 7% × 57% = 2.8%.

This effect means that it usually doesn't make sense to fit more than three modules which improve any one attribute. For example, a {{co|#9ef37c|Ballistic Control System I}} increases missile damage by 7%. The first module fit to a ship gives the full bonus, but the second will only give an additional 7% × 87% = 6.1% bonus, the third 7% × 57% = 4.0%, and the fourth 7% × 28% = 2.0%.

As the biggest modifiers take the smallest stacking penalties, this means that even if a large number of people have a {{co|#9ef37c|Remote Sensor Booster I}} on a target, if someone turns on a {{co|#9ef37c|Remote Sensor Booster II}}, they will see at least the 5% difference between the Sensor Booster I and II, plus any gains seen by the addition of a single sensor booster at the highest diminishing returns.
